I fell in love today. This time, with the Hitachi 1.5 – the world’s first ultra thin Full HD LCD. This baby comes in White, Blue, Red and of coz, Black. Being the Apple fanatic I am, white caught my heart. Someday, just you wait my baby, someday – we’ll be together. (Background Music: Diana Ross & the Supremes)

Who says nothing comes for free? Apple launched iTunes U today and it comes with ton loads of free lectures, language lessons, audiobooks, and more, that you can enjoy on your iPod, iPhone, Mac or PC. Explore over 50,000 educational audio and video files from top universities, museums and public media organizations from around the world. With iTunes U, there’s no end to what or where you can learn. Now, don’t ever complain that you have no new media-to-go on your iPod.

If only Sony can be as aggressive in securing Exclusive Game Titles instead of firmware updates, I’d be a happy camper. It seems they are just forcing these updates down every other week to solve the previous shitty update. You know what? This is a ploy to force people to adopt to the 80Gb Playstation 3 instead of going for the cheaper 40Gb one. Damn you! Sony! Damn you! Done ranting, downloading now …

I have never been a Soul Calibur fan. In fact, I never even thought of getting the game. But yesterday, I got myself a copy because a friend of mine in Japan was thinking of getting a console just for this game. He was undecided between getting the Playstation 3 or Xbox360. Characters wise, he prefers the ones over at 360 but being the Sony fanboy that I am – I volunteered to be tortured and beaten up by him via online battle just so he will get a Playstation 3. I suck at these games. Last nite, I tried playing the first stage using Ivy and I was beaten to death – on stage 1 for god sakes! I am hopeless. Maybe I was distracted at how big her breasts are and how fluidly it wobbles front and back when she stood still. Hentai to the max. With the character creation feature in the game, I have seen some humongous boobies – and I really mean humon-fucking-gous boobies! One thing for sure, the graphics are superb. But I still find throwing in Star Wars characters in a game like this was a bad move. What were they thinking?

I finally got my Guitar Hero Aerosmith Wireless Bundle for my Playstation 3. I’ve played Guitar Hero before using the Xbox360 controller – but playing it with a wireless guitar totally rocks! If you haven’t played this game with a guitar before – then you’re missing out on a lot of fun. Continue for images and my impressions on the game:

Someone sent these to me. I’ve always thought the rainbow colored logo was Apple’s first. Didn’t know there was one which totally sucks way back in 1976. If you have ever wondered how IBM, Motorola, Canon, Microsoft, FireFox, Nokia, Palm, Xerox’s early logos looked like – find out after the break. Be warned, some of them are really horrendous.

There I go again. Re-watching the scariest movie by M. Night Shyamalan and freaking myself crazy again. I know that most people will say Sixth Sense is his scariest flick – but personally, SIGNS scared the shit out of me more. There were 2 scenes that got me real bad. The clip above and another scene when Mel Gibson looked up and saw that thing standing on the rooftop. If I have a say – I wished Shyamalan didn’t show the last 5 minutes of the movie. It kinda spoiled the movie just a tad bit. Anyway, I just ordered this on Bluray. Yeah, see whether it will freak me out even more in 1080p visuals. Sick. I know.
